TUESDAY NIGHT JAZZ

@ Sandaga 813, Dallas

Lovers of smooth jazz ‘n blues can’t do much better than at this Exposition Park live music venue, which has a reputation for bringing in top-shelf talent from around the globe. Even musical heavy weights like Wynton Marsailis and Erykah Badu have played gigs here in the past. And Sandaga’s regular roster of performers reads like a list of who’s who on the local music scene as well, where regulars include Grammy Award nominated artists– Shelly Carroll and Brad Leali. If jazz isn’t your thing, no worries– the club also brings in DJs that spin everything from hip-hop and house to R&B and reggae. Plus, in addition to putting on one of the best jazz jams in the city every Tuesday night, Sandaga offers up a variety of live soul and R&B on Saturday nights and hosts the eclectic hip hop band, RC and The Gritz (also known as Erykah Badu’s band)– every Sunday. Not to mention, they have barbecue, hookahs and private cabanas too.
